Kimbri Goes to Kindergarten

Kimbri was soooo excited to start kindergarten! We decided to put her in afternoon kindergarten. Since she is the oldest and we have no other reason to race out of bed and get ready and off to school, we figured it would be nice to be able to lounge around in the mornings if we want to. Or when it's cold during the winter, it will be able to snuggle extra long in the mornings and stay in our pjs while we eat breakfasting slowly get ready for the day. Also, with Brenna still napping in the afternoon, I thought it would be a good set up where we could do lunch, take Kimbri to the bus stop, come back home and put Brenna down for a nap and Garrett could have some one-on-one time with me followed by some quiet time where I could work on some things. It was the perfect plan for us this year!

Anyway, since Kimbri had afternoon kindergarten, when she woke up at 7am and wanted to get ready for school right then and there, it was a loooong wait until she actually got to go to school! So we got her ready, curled her hair, and then took some "first day school" pictures. She loves getting her picture taken and so we took a lot :) 

Rick was able to take her to her first day of school, which was special, since often times he isn't able to do things like this with his schedule. He snapped a few pictures of her at school on her first day. I also added a few pictures of when we went to her kindergarten assessment before school started. Her teacher is Mrs. Angela Olsen, and I'm so happy about it! We used to be in the same ward when I was young and she is so nice and great with kids! Bridger had her last year for kindergarten and Stacie just had amazing things to say about her as well. So I know it's going to be a great year! 

She really wanted to walk to the bus stop and
ride the bus on her first day. So I drove while
they walked so that when she got on the bus,
Rick could take the car on to school to drop
her off on her first day.

The principal, Mrs. Matis (I used to babysit her kids
when I was a teenager) helping the kids off the bus
and to their class. She is an awesome principal!
